you will be left with that 2-inch bar. note, that the gt4 bar is curved forward while the stock bar is basically flat in the front.. so no matter what, the bar won't perfectly sit flush in the gt4 bumper absorber.

some people have put on their front aftermarket bumpers without the crash bar. but is highly not recommended. if you think of it this way, the bumper's made of plastic (or fiberglass for aftermarket ones) and if you hit an obstacle/wall/post, that plastic will break depending on how hard you hit it. that'll obviously cost you $$$ for repairs down the road since the plastic isn't hard enough to stop the car.
i'd suggest you buy the actual gt4 bar.. it costs ~$91 from toyotaworld. don't forget to buy the frame rail brackets if you decide to go this way.
